Iran is becoming more violent internally

 Hamid Enayat:

Iranian society is getting increasingly violent.  In the past few days, several women have been killed by their husbands in Iran's border cities.  An increase in child murder, general murder and family crimes, suicide, and theft, and a decrease in psychological security in society, reflects the rising violence and seems to contribute to more violence.

Society does not move toward violence overnight, over a month, or even over several years.  Violence is the result of many shortfalls in any society, bringing it to the brink of collapse.  At one point, it manifests in the form of a volcanic eruption.  The traces of violence are seen among the elderly in Iran (this couple, for example), the same people who were once a symbol of peace, tolerance, and experience.  Nowadays, they are like moving bombs of violence on the streets, buses, and subways.

The recent pandemic has lowered the tolerance threshold for people all over the world.  Iran's supreme leader issued a fatwa banning reputable vaccines from countries such as France, Britain, and the United States.  This latest example of colossally mismanaging the virus has contributed to a more tense society in Iran.  However, the pandemic is not the reason for a dysfunctional system; it is just another symptom.

Violence in Iran's society is directly related to the violence that Iran's security and law enforcement agencies perpetrate.  The security forces impose all kinds of restrictions, limitations, brutalities, and hardship on society.  The security forces kill the border porters and fuel carriers.

Another cause of anger in Iran is unbridled class differences.  In Iran, a sentence from the Prophet of Islam is incredibly famous, and that is that society could carry on with infidelity but could not sustain poverty and oppression.  These realities are all interwoven.

Iran is currently one of the world's most impoverished nations, with over 40% of Iran's citizens living in household poverty.  Individuals cannot meet the basic needs of their families, including food, safe water, health, education, housing, and even air.  In 2020, incomes below $1.90 per person per day will push people below the absolute poverty line.

This concept means that today, every person in Iran earning less than 80 tomans (Iran's new currency) per month lives below the absolute poverty line.  Eighty percent of Iran's population is either below or just above that poverty line.

At present, the well-being of Iranian families has reached its lowest level in decades, and there are indications that this downward trend will continue in the future.  Even the lifting of sanctions will not provide a way to return to the past.

There is more.

Why Biden wants to bail out this evil regime and continue the suffering of the Iranian people has never been reasonably explained. 

The frontrunner for President in Iran is a mass murderer:

Iran’s presidential frontrunner personally approved the secret mass murder of hundreds of regime critics in 1988—and can be heard defending and laughing about the gruesome massacre in a decades-old audio recording translated by the Washington Free Beacon.

Ebrahim Raisi, a cleric who serves as chief justice of Iran, is reported to be Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s favored candidate to win Friday’s presidential election, which most international observers see as a sham given the regime’s decision to disqualify any candidate viewed as a moderate. Raisi, who served as deputy prosecutor of Tehran in 1988, sat on a four-man panel that oversaw the killings of nearly 1,000 political prisoners. In an August 1988 audio recording, members of the commission can be heard defending the executions, arguing in support of killing 200 additional prisoners, and even laughing about their efforts to expedite the murders.
